332 Death without repentance
The arrival of the Great Clear Water Division, and it is overwhelming, this formation alone is shocking enough!
The back road was cut off, and Lushun City became an isolated city.
Anyone can understand that a lonely city cannot be defended.
Sooner or later, Lushun will definitely be captured by the Qing Dynasty! Even if you don't attack, it's just a siege, how much food can you store in the small city of Arthur? If there is nothing to eat, even if Lu Xiangsheng is brave enough, no matter how elite the Ming soldiers are, they will be finished!
What's more critical is that in such a terrain, the Lushun Ming army can't even break through! All in all, the Ming army in the city is destined to be a dead end!
At this time, they must be so scared that they want to pee their pants!
Thinking like this, from the commander of the whole army to Dai Shan, down to those fake Tartars, they all became relaxed. Lushun City is indeed difficult to gnaw, but it is not the end of the end!
Only a very small part, who have a good relationship with those Tartars who have died in the siege just now, will have regrets and sadness in their hearts, originally they could not die!
On the sea, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that there should be warships of the Ming army in this harbor. Even if it's not much, there must be one! But what I see now, not only are there no warships, not only are there no transport ships, but there are no transport ships! Where did the ships of the Ming Navy go?
Along the way, he was chasing a warship of the Ming Navy, but after chasing, he lost his trace at night. Originally, he thought that he must have escaped here. It turned out that he was wrong!
Could it be that when he saw that he was leading such a huge sailor over, he knew that he would be defeated, so he threw away the Ming army in Lushun City and ran away? However, isn't there a Ming governor of Baoding in this city? Those sailor generals ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to throw him down and run away?
For a moment, he really couldn't figure it out! However, when he saw the Qing army on land cheering after seeing them appear, he put these doubts behind him for the time being. Standing majestically on the deck, pointing to the Ming army at the head of Lushun City in front of him, he shouted loudly: "The way to retreat has been broken, surrender to the Qing Dynasty quickly, otherwise there will be a dead end!" ”
At the head of Lushun City, seeing so many Manchu Qingshui Division warships sailing over, many Ming soldiers did have a commotion. However, when they saw Lu Xiangsheng's figure, they settled down again.
Of course, ordinary officers and soldiers of the Ming army did not know the overall battle plan. But they trust their Governor, that's all!
Lu Xiangsheng's face didn't change much at all, and he strode towards the city head on the south side of the sea. Looking at the tartar who shouted, it could be seen from the banner that this person was the so-called Zhishun King Shang Kexi on Jianyu's side.
Before coming over, Lu Xiangsheng naturally had some understanding of the situation on the side of Liaodong Jianyu. Therefore, he knew that Shang Kexi was a person, and now when he saw that he had come to persuade him to surrender, he couldn't help but be angry, and immediately shouted: "You are a rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, and Shang Kexi, the former commander of the Dongjiang Town Water Division?" ”
This is the kind of condescending reprimand, Ban Zhifu on the side heard it, and felt that the momentum on this side was weakened. After all, no one likes to hear the word traitor. The spokesman shouted loudly: "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is the king of Zhishun, and your traitor is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding?" ”
In fact, they don't have to go back, they, the old generals of the Ming Dynasty, are not too familiar with the official robes of the Ming Dynasty, on the head of the city, wearing a big red scarlet robe, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng, can they find the second feudal official?
Therefore, Shang Kexi didn't wait for Lu Xiangsheng to speak, so he shouted loudly: "Since the Zhu Dynasty, the lord has been treacherous, and the side affairs are getting worse day by day. The soldiers clamored, and everywhere they touched. Not only does Er have the courage to come to Liaodong, but he is also a hero. The so-called good birds break the wood and rest, this king advises you, the person who knows the times is Junjie, and voted for the Qing Dynasty early, maybe the emperor will be happy, and he will also seal you a king with a different surname, sharing the glory and wealth, how about it? ”
"Shut up!" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "For the sake of glory and wealth, even the ancestors don't want to forget their ancestors!" Serve Jianlu as the master, be Jianlu's minion, shave your hair and be easy to obey, recognize the enemy as your father, your father, your wife and children, and other relatives and friends who were killed by Jianlu, how do you face them after you die? ”
Many of the sailors in the Manchu Qing Division were former soldiers of Dongjiang Town, and they were Han people from Liaodong, and they all had enmity with Jianyu. What they had deliberately forgotten was mentioned by Lu Xiangsheng at this time, and many of them suddenly lost the joy of winning the war on their faces. There were even a few people who had a hint of pain in their eyes.
Shang Kexi's face also changed when he heard this, but he was not ashamed, but he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng's words would affect the morale of the army, so he immediately turned his head and looked at it. Sure enough, he found that Lu Xiangsheng's words had an impact on the morale of his soldiers.
So, he immediately turned his head, stared at Lu Xiangsheng at the head of the city, and shouted: "This king kindly advises you, since you are obsessed, then go and die!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng originally wanted to persuade him to turn back in time, in this way, he could avoid Shang Kexi's death penalty, and maybe he could see his performance and ask him for credit. However, since Shang Kexi was so obsessed, he didn't bother to waste his tongue.
He glanced at the ships on the sea, looked at the warships under the North Korean flag, and then shouted: "Who is the commander of the Korean naval division?" Aiding the abuse, violating the Ming Dynasty, what are the consequences? ”
Of course Park Zhenyu was there, he saw that the governors of Daming were all in this lonely city, to be honest, he admired it very much in his heart. There is no such courageous high-ranking civil official, at least in North Korea, to find one.
However, now that North Korea has submitted to the Qing Dynasty, the suzerainty is not the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty. What's the use of just talking like that?
He was thinking about it, but Lu Xiangsheng couldn't see anyone responding, so he pointed at those Korean warships and shouted again: "If you are obsessed, he will definitely play the emperor, crusade against Korea, and swear to destroy Korea!" ”
The Ming Taizu once had a decree that North Korea would not be a country to be conquered, and would always be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. All the time, and it is. Korea was invaded by the Japanese and was about to be destroyed, and it was the Ming Emperor who sent troops to fight and drive the Japanese into the sea for Korea.
However, now North Korea not only changed the Ming rebellion as the suzerain, but even sent troops to attack the Ming army. Since this is the case, Taizu's will back then naturally does not need to be obeyed. What Lu Xiangsheng said was definitely not just a scare. At this time, he made up his mind, that is, he wanted to play Emperor Chongzhen and send troops to attack North Korea in the future.
Park Zhenyu heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, and before he could say anything, Shang Kexi laughed out loud and said loudly: "Now that you, a dog official, can't protect yourself, and you still want to blackmail North Korea?" Is it dying and still thinking about dying and struggling? ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at where Park Zhenyu was, and shouted: "Reply, this king wants to listen, are you North Korean loyal to the Qing Dynasty?" ”
Under the current circumstances, if the North Korean sailors want to oppose the water, it will be the end of Shang Kexi. However, he knew the North Koreans, so he was not afraid at all, so he forced Park Jin-woo to make a statement.
Park Zhenyu had no choice but to reply loudly in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "Lord Governor, don't bother talking when you die." The last general served the will of the country, came to listen to the dispatch of the Qing Dynasty, and now with the Ming Dynasty, it is already a relationship between the enemy and me, recognize the reality, and die of heart! ”
After finishing speaking, he secretly added a sentence in his heart: "You are all going to die here, how can you play the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, if you really have the ability to conquer Korea, you will have to destroy the Qing Dynasty in advance!" ”
Because of the preferential treatment of the Ming Dynasty to the Korean dynasties, and the practice of Jianyu harmed the interests of the Korean monarchs and ministers, they actually still thought of the Ming Dynasty in their hearts. Of course, that's all.
In the original history, after the Jianyu conquered Korea, they did not ask Korea to send troops except for money. However, now, under the instigation of the butterfly effect of Emperor Chongzhen, the Manchu Qing Dynasty encountered a predicament that had never been encountered in history. Therefore, not only did they ask for more grain and grass from North Korea, but they also asked to send sailors to help in the war.
In this way, if North Korea wields its sword and moves, and the sailors cut off the retreat of the Ming army, then there is no love to talk about. If you really want to be loyal, at this time, against the water, the Manshui division has no power to resist at all, and the retreat of the Ming army to the sea is equivalent to saving the governor of the Ming Dynasty and thousands of officers and soldiers, and it is more or less the grace of the Ming Dynasty to rescue North Korea several times. However, no!
Besides, when Lu Xiangsheng saw that they were all stubborn, he sneered in his heart, thinking: It's okay like this, you can see the truth when you are in trouble. At least in their opinion, the Ming army is now in a desperate situation, and they all think that they are dying without any scruples. Then, it's time for you to cry when you turn around!
Thinking so, Lu Xiangsheng no longer wasted saliva, and immediately gave the order to go down, wait for the battle, and guard Lushun.
Shang Kexi and the others were a little reluctant when they saw Lu Xiangsheng ignoring them. While making people shout at the Ming army and disintegrating the morale of the Ming army, he sent people ashore to get in touch with Daishan. This task fell to Ban Zhifu.
On this side of the sea, when Jianyu attacked the city, of course, he did not attack, and he could not attack. Therefore, after Ban Zhifu got off the boat, he didn't see anything, and walked around the city in a hurry, rushing to the place where the Daishan Shuai Banner was.
His excitement is understandable. After all, because of the arrival of the sailor, the Ming army in Lushun became the turtle in the urn, and Lushun City will be in the Qing Dynasty sooner or later, and the sailor has made a lot of contributions.
However, when Ban Zhifu went ashore and went around to the side, he saw the scene after the battle under the city at a glance.
After all, he was a veteran of many years of fighting, and just by looking at it, he could almost deduce what the siege was like at that time. It was really something he could deduce, let him stop at once, there was no smile on his face, and he stared at the not tall Lushun City in shock, he couldn't understand why the Qing Dynasty attacked the city so heavily?
It was a long time before he took a step forward and moved on. However, this time, he took three steps and looked back again, completely without the initial excitement. From his expression, he really couldn't understand why the Ming army in the city was so powerful? There is no trace of the Ming army in his memory!
It wasn't until he was about to enter the military tent that he came back to his senses, rubbed his face, rubbed away all the thoughts in his heart, and then squeezed out a smile on his face, and went inside to tell Dai Shan about the situation of the sailor.
"What?" When Dai Shan heard this, his face sank and said: "All the way over, didn't you fight with the Ming State Sailor?" ”
He hadn't seen the Ming Water Master before, thinking that the Ming Water Master had just gone out, and he would fight first when he met the Great Qing Water Division.
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Ban Zhifu knelt there and replied, "Lord Wang...... The prince of my family thought that when the Ming Water Master saw the huge Da Qing Shui Division, he knew that he was invincible, so he should flee back to Dengzhou. ”
This is the only possible answer that Shang Kexi thought about for a while.
Thinking about it, Ming Guo must have known that there were no shipyards in the Qing Dynasty, and now that more than 300 ships suddenly appeared, in such a short period of time, they would definitely be scared to death.
Of course, just in case, Shang Kexi also sent a ship to the nearby island to investigate to see if the ship of the Ming Kingdom did not escape back to Dengzhou, but hid.
He didn't pay much attention to this situation. Even if you hide, how can you dare to come and attack such a huge sailor? Crazy!
After Dai Shan probably understood the situation, he began to have trouble again. Not for anything else, but for food.
Originally, I thought that this attack on Lushun was to bring the artillery battalion of the Tianyou Army over, and the army was several times the size of the Ming Army, and it was still the elite of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, a huge naval division was transferred from North Korea, which cut off the retreat of the Ming army by sea. In this way, it will only take a day or two to defeat Lushun. Therefore, there are not so many military rations to carry.
But after this battle, Dai Shan knew in his heart that if he fought Lushun hard, he didn't know how many lives would have to be filled. And the Qing Dynasty has so much military strength, and it can't make up for the losses at all, and it can't afford to lose!
Therefore, in the next way of playing, Daishan is more inclined to besiege and besiege Lushun. In this way, he will also have so much food to support the besieging army, and wait until the day when the city of Arthur runs out of ammunition and food! Don't be at that time, the Ming army in Lushun City is eating and drinking there, while the Qing army besieging the city is going to eat grass roots and bark!
Thinking like this, he saw that the more than 10,000 troops in the North Korean naval division were not pleasing to the eye, and how much extra food would have to be wasted every day!
In the end, Dai Shan made a decision and ordered the sailors to attack the city under the cover of the warship artillery. Maybe on the side of the sea, the Ming army didn't have such perfect fortifications! Of course, in other aspects, he will also send troops to contain them.
When Ban Zhifu came back with this military order with a bitter face, Shang Kexi said disapprovingly: "It's completely okay, when the tide rises, the big ship will be able to approach Lushun City a lot, and it should be able to be shelled." It's not good, this is the first credit for winning Lushun City, and it's my sailor's again! ”
"Lord Wang, you ...... You ......" Ban Zhifu originally wanted to say, you thought too much, but thinking about it, it was too rude, so he had to say, "Lushun City is strange, before we came, the Qing Dynasty had already attacked once, and the last general saw it from the side, and there were heavy casualties!" ”
"Ah......" Shang Kexi was a little dumbfounded when he heard it!
